Very popular yet unusual cane Begonia with interesting silver spotted leaves, each with red undersides. The 'Polka Dot Begonia' is native to the floors of rainforests in Brazil. For best results rainforest conditions need to be met as closely as possible. This means warmth, humidity and semi shade. Large clusters of small white or pink flowers follow if happy. Great for kitchens and bathrooms.
